Kevin Nash ended Goldberg’s 173-match undefeated streak at WCW Starrcade 1998. Nash defeated Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in the event’s main event.
The match took place on December 27, 1998, at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. Goldberg was disqualified after attacking an official with a chair, and Nash then used the Jackknife Powerbomb to win the title. The result ended Goldberg’s celebrated unbeaten run, though the exact number of matches has been debated because WCW’s records were not always consistent.
Scott Hall’s interference was central to the storyline. Hall distracted Goldberg before the match and later delivered a taser-related attack in the closing angle. Nash’s victory became one of the most controversial endings in WCW’s late-1990s history.
